Brandon Penny is a law abiding member of society.
Not to be missed!.
And the ending? Fist-pumps and tears. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Full of tradecraft and suspense, emotion and action.
Highly recommended.
Compelling characters, amazingly-rendered Portland setting, and a conclusion full of twists, turns, and ultimately, satisfaction.
Part mother/son crime drama, part heist novel, The Things She Stole reminded me of Ben Affleck\'s movie, The Town . ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Takes the domestic thriller genre to a whole new level.
But to do it he\'ll have to tear down the life he\'s built.
One way or another, he\'ll find out what happened that night.
The only one he can count on is himself.
He doesn\'t trust the cops, he can\'t trust his mother, and he\'s too afraid to trust the ex-girlfriend he still loves.
But when his estranged mother returns to town for a major heist, the police ask Brandon to help track her down.
All he has to his name is the beer in his hand and a punch card for the vintage video store.
What happened that night? Why did his mom leave him behind? And why didn\'t she ever come back? Now he works a monotonous 9-5, pining for the girfriend who dumped him.
And questions.
Left all alone, Brandon burned with anger.
But when he was twelve a robbery went bad, a gun went off, and Brandon\'s mother disappeared, never to return.
As a child, Brandon\'s con-artist mother raised him to be a criminal prodigy.
Not at all what his mother envisioned.
